    I have no qualms getting a brain chip implanted that’s been properly tested and vetted, especially if it enables me to do cool stuff.

    But I want fucking touch one that Mushk has been anywhere near

      You think neuralink has not been properly tested and vetted? It’s perfectly fine not to want to have anything to do with stuff related to Musk but atleast be honest about the true reasons then. The uninformed opinions I’m reading here are solely based on emotions.

          How many more apes do you think should be sacrificed before it’s properly ready for human trials?

          I don’t agree with the premise. Being a shitty person doesn’t mean everything they do is also shitty. Musk singlehandedly popularized electric cars, he’s the first person to develop re-usable rockets thus cutting the price of transporting stuff to orbit by over a half and he’s also responsible for being the first to create a truly global satellite internet effectively for the whole world. If you can’t give him credit for any of that then you’re simply just not looking at it objectively but rather with emotionally motivated reasoning.
